You are so correct. I think it has a lot to do with his raising, and his love for her. He didn’t have to go take care of her, but he did. I really do believe these two loved each other. In the beginning I thought it was crazy and I did for many years. But when they kept ranking in anniversary years, I thought maybe there is more to this than what I thought. No she should not have been messing with her student but she did. I just pray that she’s in peace. And as far as I can say Villy I know that’s not spelled correctly sorry, is a true man for what he did. I loving true man. Yes I’m sure it had a lot to do with the children but still he did the right thing and more power to him!

I knew Villi and his family when he was about 8 yrs old. He was in track with my own children so I saw him often during that time. Villi had a passion for drawing and as an artist myself I was very impressed by his artistic abilities. In between his practice times or races he would be drawing. He always had a very kind and gentle spirit. I felt back then that he was a very special person. Considering all thats happened I believe he handled it the best he could. I wish him and his beautiful daughters all the best.

[@MissTigerLilyRose]

Wow what a nice anecdote. Dont listen to these people. Im glad that you shared! Love is SO very complicated. I've always been in disbelief over how Vili and Mary could possibly have been able to forge such a strong connection with one another considering the massive abyss that constitutes their age disparity. However, now that he is an adult we need to be respectful of his journey thru life and try our best not to be hateful or judgemental. I fell in love with a man 15 years older than me and we were together for 4 years and I had a daughter with him. However, I was 34 and he was 49 when we met, not 12 and 34 like vili and Mary, which I must say is a WAY more troubling disparity in terms of life experience and maturity... but I digress.. it's nice to hear from someone who might know and understand the inner workings of these two people more than I could

[@03Wee]

with all due respect for both of them, this is the real 'love against all odds'... The way he tried to explain the kind of love they have experienced, although because of such a young age he is still trying to come into grips with what he really felt at the time. It was good to see though that he realized Mary's love for him was not the sort of paedophile perversion as it only was with him. She saw something in him even at a very young age, just so sad that he could have said these same words while she was still alive. Past interviews made it look like she was the only one trying to explain everything that most people wouldn't really understand... May her soul rest in true peace knowing she lived and loved well...

[@redrum_2k]

He really sounds like a very compassionate and intelligent person, the way he always pauses before articulating a thought. Becoming a father at such a young age must have been very difficult at the time. But having your lover ripped out of your life and all of society condemning your relationship with the person that you actually really love, without seeing the positive aspects of the human relationship between them too, must have been hard for him as well. It probably still is, because most people tend to think in black and white only, unable to recognize that there is so much complexity in between just good and bad. I simply wish the best for him and his daughters. ❤️

[@mommyshmear]

What a difference in Villi in this interview vs any other interview I’ve seen him in (always with Mary Kay); he always seemed like he was unhappy and wanted to get away from her and had so much regret. I admire him for his dedication to his family. He seems to be a good guy and he deserves the best in life.

[@cheesyDELISH48]

I think her dying allowed him to look deeper into their situation. Apparently sometime after her death he started to look back at their relationship as an unhealthy one. I'm sure it's very difficult for him to think of himself as a victim of statutory rape. It's a very twisted fucked up reality he's been living in.

[@kimbere4632]

There's no getting over that he was 12. If that would have been a man who got a 12 year old pregnant people would have a whole different idea. I think he is a wonderful person I think he tried to make a bad thing as good as he could do for his daughter's sake I don't believe for a minute that if they had not had a child that they would have still been together. But he's going to be in therapy probably for life trying to figure this out the complexities of it all. I wish him and his daughters well he deserves a rich and happy life

she already did her time in prison and paid her dues. If the boy wanted nothing to do with her then he could have told her so and moved on but he chosed to marry her and be with her until the end. We forgive other criminals like George Floyd who put a gun on a pregnant woman's belly and that other fellow who raped a woman and was shot by police but we can't forgive this white lady. Plus educate yourself on how many male predators are walking free and nobody bats an eye and the one's who rarely are prosecuted get harsher sentences because they are repeat offenders or they killed their victims.

Vili is currently the longest public case study of the long-term effects of sexual abuse on a male student by a female teacher. With the recent and similar case of Brittany Zamora grooming and abusing one of her 13-year-old students, people have been saying that the victim wouldn't be negatively affected, that he would just be getting high-fives from his friends and moving on with his life. They should look at how Vili has been holding up for 24 years. Even though he married his abuser and had a family with her, he has struggled with his mental health all this time and will probably continue to do so for the rest of his life. Brittany Zamora's victim won't grow up unscathed. No victim of child sexual abuse ever does.

You are exaggerating in your comment.

What happened back then was completely wrong, but she did not force him to do anything, after he grew up. When he became of age, he married her because he loved her something I clearly can’t understand but that’s exactly what he did.

Only God knows what his family life was like pre-Mary K, 4 whatever reason, he seemingly received no support/protection from them. It will be interesting to see what type of man he becomes in the future, both 4 himself & his children. Sending u ✨Peace✨Love✨Light sir.

[@samanthaharrington8713]

I found the fact that DR OZ was asking such personal questions about his past when he was clearly grieving about his wife dying was very distasteful.

[@Mdmsaturnia]

Agree. The below poster says “how”. For Oz, as always - the money, the views. For Vili, he hoped for realizations and understanding from a famous “doctor”. Didn’t get it. I’m sure vili was paid 5k for travel and hotel, he could use the money. Vili is a bright, thoughtful man. He clearly loved MKT. Oz, can’t wait to see how much lower you will go.

[@MrsDanner2023]

I think going into it, anyone being interviewed would have to be aware that, for entertainment purposes, the interviewer is going to ask questions that are difficult to answer. That’s what people want to hear about, and what’s gets the views. But when you’re grieving, like he very obviously is, you’re not in the right state of mind to be grilled like this. I feel really sad for Vili in that sense, because regardless of anything else, scandalous past aside, here’s a guy who’s spent literally his entire life with a woman he’s still mourning the loss of, and his pain seems sort of trivialized by the continued questions about their age difference & what he would do if his daughters were in that situation. I feel like those questions are so tired, especially 20 years on, and the focus should be more about moving forward & what lies ahead now, with her passing, rather than always looking back on the scandal that took place before they built an actual, legitimate life & family together.

@@CStreis "his age" ! Age was never the issue! There are lots of relationships out there with a bigger age difference than these two had! Let's not turn a subject of taking advantage of a minor into an age discrimination thing! They are different topics. The issue was that he was under age and too young when this thing began. Her mistake was not keeping her feelings in check for his benefit and waiting until he was an adult. Now, we should just hope he finds someone who loves him, because he seems like a really great guy who deserves someone capable of caring for him in a more unselfish way, no matter her age. Maybe he likes older women (probably does, by the evidence). Assuming otherwise is just very judgmental and not the point at all.
